|Thunderbird Profile backup/transfer
|backup and restore of Thunderbird profiles. Should allow users to transfer profiles between machines. Would need to investigate Mozbackup and figure out how this would be better. Options about which files to backup would be a start.

|Thunderbird Profile discovery/recovery
|Handle things like profiles.ini getting corrupted on upgrade (e.g., try to find a profile dir and hook it back up to profiles.ini), and perhaps profile repair, when accounts get corrupted.
|bienvenu,standard8
| This is probably relatively easy, but diagnosing and repairing some of the trickier corruptions might be complicated.

|No reply reminder
|Often you're sending an email and expecting an answer within a certain number of days. This feature will set a reminder to notify you if no answer has been received in between. One possible way of being reminded is to automatically forward the original email to yourself, with an explanation subject/header. Another way can be to set a Lightning event if it is installed. A few good extension provides a similar feature but do not 'watch' for answered email: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/remindit and https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/follow-up
Level of difficulty: medium (?)

|Configure Android stock email client with Thunderbird account settings
|f you want to email other than gmail on Android, you have to go through the pain of setting the stock email client with IMAP/POP3 settings, ports, user names, passwords, and other reply & compose settings. This feature would allow you to automatically set your Android device email application with the right parameters. It could take the form of an Android thunderbird application, or some other more direct parameter settings via device policy infrastructure
Technical investigation to be done

|Offer url preview within Thunderbird
|Many emails contain links to a single web page. The default TB behaviour is to launch the stock browser to view them. This feature allows direct preview in a Thunderbird tab through ctl-click, or direct inline preview for known content (ex: Youtube...).
Level of difficulty: medium (easy if initial groundworks is available).
